[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My OOS kid deferred.  Things are changing so quickly that Naviance is no longer useful.  According to Naviance for DC’s school, every kid in last 5 years with stats equivalent to DC has been accepted.  This makes it so hard to accurately identify reach/target/safety when planning applications.

[b]UVA’s blog post from last year makes it clear that very, very, VERY few deferrals become acceptances.[/b][/quote]

Yes, and it makes me wonder why they defer so many. Only 72 kids who were initially deferred were admitted in RD last year: http://uvaapplication.blogspot.com/2022/03/2022-uva-regular-decision-admission.html[/quote]

YES.  UVA doesn't practice yield protection. Most of the applicants, like mine, have or near 4.0, so they can't be looking at 1st semester graded. I don't get it.  Just reject now you cowards!![/quote]

Why do you keep saying this?  Your student can chose to withdraw from the deferred pool if they want.[/quote]

I agree with pp that schools should just reject a huge number of deferred applicants. Kids won’t withdraw because the deferral gives them false hope. It’s a ridiculous practice.[/quote]

Same can be said for many other elective schools that defer almost 100% of EA/SCEA applicants. [/quote]

UVa is actually far more restrictive with deferrals than most schools, deferring only 20 percent.  Some schools defer 80 to 100 percent of non acceptances.[/quote]

NP.  I agree with that, but with others (Tufts, CWRU, etc) the reason is yield protection. I think what troubles some is why does UVA defer 7,700 when yield protection doesn't apply. [/quote]
Let’s say half don’t continue. Then half of those don’t have good grades. Then they have to fit the rest into the different programs and factor in residency. [/quote]
